Indy car is at COTA this weekend I’m interested to see lap times versus F1.
When IndyCar tested at COTA a few weeks ago the best time was about 14s slower than last year's F1 pole time. My guess is that the pole time this Saturday will drop a couple of seconds, so maybe the deficit will "only" be around 12s.
1:32.237 Lewis Hamilton pole time
1:46.626 Colton Herta on Feb. 13
Note that in 2018 IndyCar went with a new aerokit, reducing downforce by around 2,000 lbs, in an effort to improve the racing (the changes allow cars to follow each other closer). So that made the deficit to F1 that much worse.

The race times are much much closer than that. I would expect that the first laps of the F1 cars to be in the 1:40s for the 2018 race.
Pole times are so much lower than what the cars are capable of during the race.
